I'm guilty of suggesting that Sebastian include KOffice on the CD.  This
was because the CD is also used to demonstrate Open Source software and
solutions to people, and the one thing that most people *think* they
need is a joined-up office suite.  I would have much prefered openoffice
myself.  I don't think linux without an office suite wins many converts
from those not likely to try it anyways.

Maybe any space left on the CD should be filled with TEI training
materials as they are developed.
